Wind-tunnel Prediction of Wind Power Production in Complex Terrain
An atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel was used to survey the variation in local wind conditions over a region of the Altamont Pass, California, containing two wind farms. Meteorological data combined with the wind tunnel results were used to predict the power output of the wind farms every half hour over a oneyear period from July 2001 to June 2002. It was observed that the power production...
متن کاملLatest Developments in Numerical Wind Synopsis Prediction Using the RIAM-COMPACT® CFD Model—Design Wind Speed Evaluation and Wind Risk (Terrain-Induced Turbulence) Diagnostics in Japan
Because a significant portion of the topography in Japan is characterized by steep, complex terrain, which results in a complex spatial distribution of wind speed, great care is necessary for selecting a site for the construction of Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs). We have developed a CFD model for unsteady flow called Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, COMputational Pr...
متن کاملWind Speed Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks
A multilayered artificial neural network has been used for predicting the mean monthly wind speed in regions of Cyprus where data are not available. Data for the period 1986-1996 have been used to train a neural network, whereas data for the year 1997 were used for validation. Both learning and prediction were performed with adequate accuracy. Two network architectures of the similar type have ...
متن کاملWind in Complex Terrain - Lidar Measurements for Evaluation of CFD Simulations
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used to predict wind conditions for wind energy production purposes. However, as wind power development expands into areas of even more complex terrain and challenging flow conditions, more research is needed to investigate the ability of such models to describe turbulent flow features. In this study, the performance of a hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Nav...
متن کاملParallelisation of the CFD Code of a CFD-NWP Coupled System for the Simulation of Atmospheric Flows over Complex Terrain
The sequential simulation of atmospheric flows over complex terrain using Computational Fluid Dynamics tools (CFD) leads normally to very large time-consuming runs. With the present day processors only the power available using parallel computers is enough to produce a true prediction using CFD tools, i.e. running the code faster than the evolution of the real weather. In the present work, the ...
